Description

We forecast the Dutch economy will expand by 1.4% in 2026 and 1.2% in 2027. The war in the Middle East has driven up energy prices in the international markets, which will increase inflation and hit consumption. Exports have remained remarkably resilient amid higher tariffs, thereby improving the outlook for international trade. Trade uncertainty is making businesses reluctant to invest, weighing on non-residential private investment, and we think that this headwind will persist. We expect inflation to average 2.6% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027.
